Earlier Report Observations

Libya's goat meat market volume showed moderate fluctuations between 2018 and 2022. Starting at 12 095 t in 2018, it rose to 12 272 t in 2019, then declined to 11 834 t in 2020. A recovery followed in 2021, lifting the market to 12 233 t partly due to a brief rise in imports, before it settled at 12 165 t in 2022.

In 2023, production reached 12 297 t, bringing total market volume to 12 307 t. During this period, the domestic meat market experienced significant price increases. The price of local goat and lamb meat rose to 85–90 dinars per kilogram, driven by a depreciating Libyan dinar and higher feed costs, which pushed overall meat prices up by 29%. This made cheaper imported frozen meat more attractive to consumers, contributing to a broader surge in frozen meat imports. The government issued regulatory circulars, granting credits worth $910 million for feed imports and requiring companies to disclose prices and distribution channels to address monopolistic practices. Local players, such as Libya Meat for Food Industries, remained active in the fresh and frozen segments. These trends of high local prices and competitive imported options persisted into 2024.
